I have plans... ;) although have to get wifi her disco first, then i am free to do as i wish.. (just dont tell her.. )

[landymadjay]

im with you on that one jonny ramrod every time it looks so good .

so jonny ramrod  what plans you got in mind then?

[jonny ramrod]

they involve 'big dave' (my large angle grinder..), 4 bucket seats and harnesses...(so the kids can enjoy it too..)
And a whole load of work.. :roll:  It will be shorter and higher when finished.. :twisted: :twisted:

[landymadjay]

lol :)

got any pics of the landy now?

[jonny ramrod]

this is it, coming down 'the steps' in north wales..





totally standard, except for its gas conversion. Lift is coming later this week, then the 31x10.5x15 tyres can go on.. so should look a little better.

winch and bumper is next, then snorkel etc.. But until we get another disco for family and daily use, then i cant go to mad with it.. :roll:

[bobthedisco]

well thats it got a years mot and tax, failed on a couple of little things, headlamp aim..obviously knew that would need set :lol:, front washers werent squirting enough water...i had the front and rear washer motors mixed up...i had noticed a couple of weeks ago but forgot to swap the wires over :oops: and a side repeater stopped working for its test :roll:

so ready to go for a play on sunday :dance:

[jonny ramrod]

ACE............. :clap: :clap: :clap:

well done that man.... bet your all excited now  :dance: :dance:

[bobthedisco]

well got out for a play today, we were out for around 5 hrs at our local offroad site, i am amazed how much better the auto seems to work offroad compared to my old manual disco :dance: :dance:

only little niggle today is the arb locker compressor was kicking in every 30 seconds by the end of the day..no obvious air leaks in the line so i,m thinking maybe the seal on the arb unit its self? :? :?

was at RD128's you fitted?
if so its leaking cos the seal housing can move back n forth

[bobthedisco]

sorted it today mike, spoke to steve at crown diffs, he was extremeley helpful as usual :clap:, it was leaking at the seal housing, took it off cleaned it and refitted it and its fine now, steve was going to send me out some seals but i,l see if its ok next weekend

[jonny ramrod]
